- ÍtemAcceso AbiertoAdicción a los videojuegos en adolescentes.(Universidad Católica de Cuenca., 2024) Yánez Fernandéz , Cristian; Padilla Samaniego, María; 0302543970Introduction. Excessive video game use in adolescents has become an addictive behavior that triggers a significant impact on their well-being and quality of life. Objective. To determine video game addiction in adolescents. Methodology. A quality descriptive literature review was conducted, employing Web of Science, Scopus, SciELO, Redalyc, and Dialnet databases, including descriptive, experimental, meta-analysis, observational narrative, cross-sectional, and systemic review studies, and also undergraduate and postgraduate theses were analyzed —only those referring to video game addiction in adolescent population—. Results. According to the chosen and evaluated studies, it was found that the lack of affection and communication with parents and personality traits, such as neuroticism, increase the risk of addiction to video games, having a considerable effect on both health psychological and physical health. Conclusion. Video game addiction in adolescents is closely related to the excessive use of technological devices and, in particular, video games. From an early age, people begin to use these devices, contributing to video game dependence becoming a prevalent problem during adolescence. It has been identified that the population most susceptible to this addiction are men aged between 11 and 18 years old.
